[closing voice-over] It's hard to fight against certain biases. It's important to keep an open mind. It's how we learn. It's how we grow. It's how we move forward. Until we don't. Until we let our bias take over. Until we succumb to what feels right, or good, or satisfying in that moment, because even then, deep down inside, we usually know we're going to regret it.
S12 E7Something Against You
S12 E8Things We Lost in the Fire
[opening voice-over] They say you fight fire with fire. We do it in medicine all the time. We cut you to repair your injury. We hurt you to heal you. We stoke the flames, but playing with fire is a dangerous thing.
Why are you shutting me out of this?
Because this does not concern you.
But it concerns you?
No, it doesn't. I made a promise that I would help him keep his head above water.
Promised who?
To Cristina. So I am watching him, and I am letting him be, and I am not sticking my nose...
What does Cristina have to do with this? You're in some sort of three-way trust circle with Owen and his ex-girlfriend?
Ex-wife.
God. Meredith, you are the most loyal person I have ever met to everyone except me. You're loyal to some woman halfway across the world...
Yes, I am.
...when I am right here. Cristina left you. I'm here. I'm your sister.
You are not my sister. Cristina is my sister. You are Derek's sister, and Derek is gone.
Dr. Grey, I changed the mediastinal drains...
(to Penny, screaming) Get out! (to Meredith) Is this why you hate me? 'Cause I remind you of him? Does it help you to hate me? Asking you not to push me. Am I like her... something you cling to to keep the memory alive? You are such a child. You wrap her around you like some sick widow shawl. The widow Grey. She's okay. She's moving on. She'll never love again, but she's holding it together. That is crap. You've given up. You are crawling into your little hole and dying. You are hollow. And Derek would be sick about it if he could see it. He would be disgusted.
I want you out of my house.
Done!
I want to end where we began, in a bed, in love, and I just want to keep us there for a minute. And anything you say right now is gonna ruin it, so please just don't!
Don't you see? This is what you do. You just decide how things are gonna go.
I am not the one deciding in this situation!
Of course you're the one deciding!
What?!
April, you're always deciding! You decide to go to Jordan. You decide to leave. You decide to stay. You decide you need me, then you decide you don't. You decide we can talk. You decide we cannot.
I don't want to talk because I know what you're gonna say! You're gonna say you love me but...
You don't know what I'm going to say!
I'm pretty sure I do.
It doesn't matter! You don't!
Fine! Then go ahead! Say it.
[closing voice-over] When we strike that match, we like to think we can control the burn. We like to think we have any control at all, but fire is wildly difficult to contain. And just when you think you've extinguished the blaze, it reignites. It sucks in air and burns hotter and brighter than ever.
S12 E9The Sound of Silence
[opening voice-over] In group settings, men are 75% more likely to speak up than women. And when a woman does speak up, it's statistically probable her male counterparts will either interrupt her, or speak over her. It's not because they're rude, it's science. The female voice is scientifically proven to be more difficult for a male brain to register. What does this mean? It means, in this world, where men are bigger, stronger, faster, if you're not ready to fight, the silence will kill you.
[to Meredith] She [Amelia] came to see you the night after the attack. She was drunk. She was upset because you called her for a consult that day, the day of the attack, and she the choice between coming to you and going to another trauma. She went to the other trauma because she was mad at you. Forgiveness is a powerful thing, Meredith. Not only to make the other person feel good, but to heal you. You need to forgive her, Meredith. Forgive her for not being Derek. For being the wrong Shepherd. Just enough to remind you of what's missing, but not enough to bring him back. That's not her fault. You need to forgive her. You don't have to like her. You don't have to love her. Look, forgive her, okay? So you can forgive Blake for being in that room when a wrong decision caused you your husband. To forgive Derek for dying too soon. To forgive yourself for hating him for dying too soon. Let it go, Meredith, and forgive.
[to Webber] We're all her family in here
That's my 30 day chip. I'm sober and I'm starting back at work on Monday, so I'm trying. I'm trying.
I know you are.
You can talk! That's great. They took the wires off?
Yeah, this morning. I'm just not ready to forgive you yet.
I'm not exactly ready either. I'll see you later.
See you later.
[to Alex] I just spent six weeks in a bed unable to speak. When that you happens, you see things. It's a lot of things that people don't say to each other that they should just say, so I need you to hear me when I say this. I know I've needed you a lot lately, but I also know and I have known for a long time that Jo loves you. Post-it-on-the-wall loves you. Don't ignore that. You can have more than one person. I used to think you couldn't, but now I know, I mean, turns out I have a whole damn village. So, you don't have to worry about me. Go be with Jo. I'll be fine. I'm okay.
[closing voice-over] Don't let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice. So use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes. Just find your voice and when you do, fill the damn silence.
S12 E10All I Want Is You
Page Riggs.
He just said...
I can hear.
You know that Dr. Hunt punched Dr. Riggs.
The only way they're gonna learn to work together is if they work together, so any cardio consults that get paged to the pit, you page Riggs.
You know this is my one happy place right now? Please don't make it a crappy place.
Oh, Kepner. I feel you. I do. Page Riggs.
Hey, you ready? I'm starving.
Listen, can we do this another night? Uh, okay. I'm not hungry, and I don't want to...
What's wrong?
Nothing, nothing. Just be better another night, okay?
Is this about Riggs?
Can you... I'm not getting into it. Everything doesn't need to be talked about.
Okay. Yeah, I understand. So another time you will call me, and we'll go out. But you won't, will you? Or you will and I will cave and go and I will talk too much and you will say nothing. And I'm... I don't know how to do this thing that you do where you make me feel like crap and there are no words coming out of your mouth. So... Whatever. You'll call me maybe... Or maybe not. And maybe I will not care.
I had a sister. Megan. She was three years younger than me. Smarter than me, funnier than me... Better person than me, okay? But she did everything I did. We went to med school together, and that's where we met Riggs. Nate was my best friend. And Megan loved him. And he was with her the day that we lost her. I trusted him with her, and he was like a brother to me. And he should've... But he didn't. And I don't talk about it.
I want to go to bed.
Oh, I do, too, and I can't go home.
I don't want to go home, alone. I miss Penny. I miss having sex. Ugh. Penny and I had the greatest sex. It was that "journey of discovery" great sex you have in the beginning.
Jo and I had sex like that all the time.
And now no Penny, no sex. No sex with Penny. None of it.
Okay, let's not talk about sex, because the Chief is here.
I'm just eating my pizza. Besides, it sounds like none of y'all are getting any anyway.
Pierce is getting some.
No, I'm not. Don't say that. Forget he said that.
S12 E11Unbreak My Heart
[opening voice-over] In trauma, we're concerned with one overriding question. How did this happen? What was the mechanism of injury? How do we see pass the mess and confusion of trauma to figure out what the damage actually is? Infinite possibilities put the patient on the table in front of you. Now you have to figure out, will they live? Will you be able to save them or are they a lost cause? Every part of a trauma tells a different piece of the story and until you look at each and every injury, you can see what went wrong.
What...what is it Jackson? What... what pisses you off so much... that I chose to go after the thing that I needed to heal or that the thing I needed wasn't you?
